Know more about Fairy Bridges
Fairy BridgesThe Fairy Bridges is a natural arch in the cliffs, with blow holes that date as far back as the 1700s. Early travellers to the area were thought to be more interested in coming to see The Fairy Bridges than to experience the natural health benefits of the area’s golden beaches and proximity to the wild Atlantic Ocean. Indeed, this natural rock formation was one of the main attractions to visit in Bundoran at the time.
